1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. ABOUT TRAI

TRAI's mission is to create and nurture conditions for growth of telecommunications in the country in a

manner and at a pace that will enable India to play a leading role in the emerging global information

society. One of the main objectives of TRAI is to provide a fair and transparent policy environment which

promotes a level playing field and facilitates fair competition.

In pursuance of above objective, TRAI has been issuing regulations, order and directives to deal with the

issues or complaints raised by the operators as well as the consumers. These regulations, order and

directives have helped to nurture the growth of multi operator multi service - an open competitive Junket

from a government owned monopoly. Also, the directions, orders and regulations issued cover a wide

range of subjects including tariff, interconnection and quality of service as well as governance of the

Authority.

TRAI initiated a regulation - The Standard of Quality of Service of Basic Telephone Service (Wireline)

and Cellular Mobile Telephone Service regulations, 2009 (7 of 2009) dated June 20, 2009 and Quality of

Service of Broadband Service Regulations, 2006 (11 of 2006) dated April 6, 2006 that provide the

benchmarks for the parameters on customer perception of service to be achieved by service provider.

In order to assess the above regulations, TRAI has commissioned a third party agency to conduct the

audit of the service providers and check the performance of the operators on the various benchmarks set

by Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI).

2. PMR REPORTS

Significance and methodology: PMR or Performance Monitoring Reports are generated to assess the

various Quality of Service parameters involved in the mobile telephony service, which indicate the overall

health of service for an operator.

The PMR report for network parameters is taken for each month of the audit quarter and is extracted and

verified in the first week of the subsequent month of the audit month. For example, Sep 2016 audit data

was collected in the month of Oct 2016.

The PMR report for customer service parameters is extracted from Customer Service Centre and verified

once every quarter in the subsequent month of the last month of the quarter. For example, data for quarter

ending Sep 2016 was collected in the month of Oct 2016.

The raw data extracted from operator’s systems is used to create PMR in the following three formats:

Monthly PMR (Network Parameters)

3 Day Live Measurement Data (Network Parameters)

Customer Service Data

Let us understand these formats in details.

The TSP is intimated about the audit schedule in advance and accordingly the auditor visits the TSP premises to conduct the audit

Raw Data is extracted from the operator’s NOC/OMCR/call centre/billing centre etc. by the auditor with assistance from the operator personnel in order to generate PMR reports (Network/ Billing/ Customer Service etc.)

Calculations are done to generate new PMR from the RAW data

Hard copy of the PMR is duly signed by the auditor and competent authority from operator end.

2.1. MONTHLY PMR

This involved calculation of the various Quality of Service network parameters through monthly

Performance Monitoring Reports (PMR). The PMR reports were generated from the data extracted from

operator’s systems by the auditor with the assistance of the operator at the operator’s premises for the

month of July, August and September 2016. The performance of operators on various parameters was

assessed against thebenchmarks.

Parameters includes:

• BTS accumulated downtime • Worst affected BTS due to downtime

Network Availability

• Call Set Up success Rate (CSSR)

Connection Establishment (Accessibility)

• SDCCH/Paging Channel Congestion • TCH Congestion • Point of Interconnection

Network Congestion Parameters

• Call Drop rate • Worst affected cells having more than 3% TCH drop

Connection Maintenance

• % Connections with good voice quality

2.2. AUDIT PARAMETER: NETWORK

Let us now look at the various parameters involved in the audit reports.

2.3. DATA EXTRACTION POINTS

The data is extracted from a terminal/computer connected to OMCR & OSS on the operator network.

Page 12: UDIT ASSESSMENTOFQUALITY OF ERVICE C (CMTS) (J S 2016) … · 2017-12-16 · July to September 2016 – Himachal Pradesh Circle 6 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. ABOUT TRAI TRAI's mission is

July to September 2016 – Himachal Pradesh Circle 12

2.4. AUDIT PROCEDURE

Extracted data is calculated as per the counter details provided by the operators. The details of counters

have been provided in the report. The calculation methodology for each parameter has been stated in the

table given below:

Tender document and latest list of licencees as per TRAI is taken as a reference document for assimilating the presence of operators. All the

wireless operators are then informed about the audit schedule

Audit formats and schedule is shared with the operators in advance. Details include day of the visit

and date of 3 day data collection and other requirements.

Auditors visit the operator's server/exchange/central NOC to extract data from operator's systems.

Operator personnel assist the auditor in extraction process.

The extracted data is validated and verfied by the Auditors.

Auditors then prepare a PMR report from the extracted data with assistance from the operator.

2.5. NETWORK CALCULATION METHODOLOGY

Parameter Calculation Methodology

BTS Accumulated Downtime

Sum of downtime of BTSs in a month in hours i.e.

total outage time of all BTSs in hours during a month / (24 x Number of days in a month x Number of

BTSs in the network in licensed service area) x 100

Worst Affected BTS Due to Downtime

(Number of BTSs having accumulated downtime greater than 24 hours in a month / Number of BTS

in

Licensed Service Area) * 100

Call Setup Success Rate (Calls Established / Total Call Attempts) * 100

SDCCH/ Paging Channel Congestion

SDCCH / TCH Congestion% = [(A1 x C1) + (A2 x C2)

+…….+ (An x Cn)] / (A1 + A2 +…+ An)

Where:

A1 = Number of attempts to establish SDCCH / TCH made on day 1

C1 = Average SDCCH / TCH Congestion % on day 1 A2 = Number of attempts to establish SDCCH /

TCH made on day 2

TCH Congestion

C2 = Average SDCCH / TCH Congestion % on day 2 An = Number of attempts to establish SDCCH /

TCH made on day n

Cn = Average SDCCH / TCH Congestion % on day n

POI Congestion

POI Congestion% = [(A1 x C1) + (A2 x C2) +…….+ (An x Cn)] / (A1 + A2 +…+ An) Where:

A1 = POI traffic offered on all POIs (no. of calls) on day 1

C1 = Average POI Congestion % on day 1

A2 = POI traffic offered on all POIs (no. of calls) on day 2

C2 = Average POI Congestion % on day 2

An = POI traffic offered on all POIs (no. of calls) on day n

Cn = Average POI Congestion % on day n

Call Drop Rate Total Calls Dropped / Total Calls Established x 100

Worst Affected Cells having more than 3% Total number of cells having more than 3% TCH drop during CBBH/ Total number of cells in the LSA

x 100 TCH drop

Connections with good voice quality No. of voice samples with good voice quality / Total

number of samples x 100

3. 3 DAYS LIVE DATA

The main purpose of 3 day live measurement is to evaluate the network parameters on intraday basis.

While the monthly PMR report provides an overall view of the performance of QoS parameters, the 3 day

live data helps looking at intraday performance on the network parameters discussed earlier. All the

calculations are done on the basis of that raw data of 3 days.

The 3 day live data provides a sample of 9 days in a quarter (3 days each month of a quarter) with hourly

performance, which enables the auditor to identify and validate intraday issues for an operator on the QoS

network parameters. For example, network congestion being faced by an operator during busy/peak

hours.

Network related parameters were evaluated for a period of 3 days in each month. 3 day live audit was

conducted for 3 consecutive weekdays for each month. The data was extracted from each operator’s

server/ NOC etc. at the end of the 3rd day. The extracted data is then used to create a report (similar to

PMR report) to assess the various QoS parameters.

3.1. TCBH: SIGNIFICANCE AND SELECTION METHODOLOGY

As per QoS regulations 2009 (7 of 2009), Time Consistent Busy Hour” or “TCBH” means the one hour

period starting at the same time each day for which the average traffic of the resource group concerned is

greatest over the days under consideration and such Time Consistent Busy Hour shall be established on

the basis of analysis of traffic data for a period of ninety days.

Daywise RAW Data is fetched from the operator's OMCR and kept in readable format (preferably in MS- Excel). Data for a period of 90 days is used to identify TCBH.

90 Days period is Junided upon the basis of month of audit. For example, for the audit of June 2016, the 90 day period data used to identify TCBH would be the data of April, May & June 2016.

For each day, the hour in which average traffic of the resource group concerned is greatest for the day will be the 'Busy Hour' for the operator.

The model frequency of te busy hour is calculated for 90 days period and the hour with highest model frequency will beconsidered as TCBH for the operator.

July to September 2016 – Himachal Pradesh Circle 18

3.2. CBBH: SIGNIFICANCE AND SELECTION METHODOLOGY

As per QoS regulations 2009 (7 of 2009), Cell Bouncing Busy Hour (CBBH) means the one hour period in

a day during which a cell in cellular mobile telephone network experiences the maximum traffic.

Step by step procedure to identify CBBH for an operator:

Daywise RAW Data is fetched from the operator's OMCR and kept in readable format (preferably in MS- Excel). Data for a period of 90 days is used to identify CBBH.

For each day the hour in which a cell in cellular mobile telephone network experiences maximum traffic for the day will be the 'Busy Hour' for the operator.

The model frequency of the busy hour is calculated for 90 days period and the hour with highest model frequency will be considered as CBBH for the operator.

4. CUSTOMERSERVICE PARAMETERS

The data to generate PMR report for customer service parameters is extracted at the operator premises

and verified once every quarter in the subsequent month of the last month of the quarter. For example,

data for quarter ending September 2016 was collected in the month of October 2016. To extract the data

for customer service parameters for the purpose of audit, auditors primarily visit the following locations/

departments/ offices at the operator’s end.

Central Billing Center

Central Customer Service Center

The operators are duly informed in advance about the audit schedule.

The Customer Service Quality Parameters include the following:

Metering and billing credibility (post-paid and prepaid)

Resolution of billing/charging complaints

Period of applying credit/waiver/adjustment to customer’s account

Response time to the customer for assistance

Termination/closure of service

Time taken for refund of security deposit after closures.

Most of the customer service parameters were calculated by averaging over the quarter; however billing

parameters were calculated by averaging over one billing cycle for a quarter. All the parameters have been

described in detail along with key findings of the parameter in the report.

The benchmark values for each parameter have been given in the table below.

4.3. LIVE CALLING: SIGNIFICANCE AND METHODOLOGY

Live calling activity was carried out during the period of QE September2016. The data considered for live

calling was for the month prior to the month in which the live calling activity was being conducted. In this

case, data of September2016 was considered for live calling activity conducted in October2016.

A detailed explanation of each parameter is explained below:

4.4. BILLING COMPLAINTS

Live calling is done to verify Resolution of billing complaints within stipulated time. The process for this

parameter is stated below:

Auditors request the operator provided the database of all the subscribers who reported billing

complaints in one month prior to the auditor visit. In case of BSNL, data for the complaints from

the subscribers belonging to the sample exchanges is requested specifically.

A sample of 10% or 100 complainants, whichever is less, is selected randomly from the list

provided by operator.

Calls are made by auditors to the sample of subscribers to check and record whether the complaint was

resolved within the timeframes as mentioned in the benchmark.

All the complaints related to billing as per clause 3.7.2 of QoS regulation of 20th June, 2015 were

considered as population for selection of samples.

TRAI Benchmark: Resolution of billing/ charging complaints: 98% within 4 weeks, 100% within 6 weeks.

The auditor visits the operator premises for Live Calling. Theoperators provide the RAW data of customer complaints (billingand services) and also the list of customer service numbers tobe verified through live calling

The auditor makes the live calls using operator SIM to a random sample of subscribers from the RAW data provided to verify the resolution of complaints

The auditor verifies the performance of call centre, level 1services by calling the numbers using operator SIM. The list ofcall centre numbersis provided by the operator.

The auditors also make test calls to subscribers of otheroperators to assess the inter-operator call connectivity in thesame licensed service area

Page 22: UDIT ASSESSMENTOFQUALITY OF ERVICE C (CMTS) (J S 2016) … · 2017-12-16 · July to September 2016 – Himachal Pradesh Circle 6 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. ABOUT TRAI TRAI's mission is

July to September 2016 – Himachal Pradesh Circle 22

4.5. SERVICE COMPLAINTS REQUESTS

“Service request” means a request made to a service provider by its consumer pertaining to his account,

and includes:

A request for change of tariff plan

A request for activation or deactivation of a value added service or a supplementary service or a

special pack

A request for activation of any service available on the service provider’s network

A request for shift or closure or termination of service or for billing details

All the complaints other than billing were covered. A total of 100 calls per service provider for each service

in licensed service area were done by the auditors.

4.6. LEVEL 1

Level 1 is used for accessing special services like emergency services, supplementary services, inquiry

and operator-assisted services.

Level 1 Services include services such as police, fire, ambulance (Emergency services). Test calls were

made from operator SIMs. A total of 150 test calls were made per service provider in the quarter.

While most of the Level 1 services are toll free, it has been observed that some Level 1 services may not

be toll free. In April, May and June’15, auditor has tried contacting the list of Level 1 services provided by

TRAI as per the NNP (National Numbering Plan).

4.7. PROCESS TO TEST LEVEL 1 SERVICE

During the operator assisted drive test, auditors ask the operator authorized personnel to make 5

calls in each SDCA on the Level 1 Service numbers provided by TRAI. The list contains a

description of the numbers along with dialling code.

Operators might also provide a list of L1 services. To identify emergency L1 service numbers,

auditors check if there is any number that starts with code ‘10’ in that list. If auditors find any

emergency number in addition to the below list, that number is also tested during live calling.

On receiving the list, auditors verify it if the below given list of numbers are active in the service

provider’s network.

If there are any other additional numbers provided by the operator, auditors also do live calling on

those numbers along with below list.

If any of these numbers is not active, then we would write the same in our report, auditors write in

the report.

Post verifying the list, auditors do live calling by equally distributing the calls among the various

numbers and update the results in the live calling sheet.

5. DRIVE TEST: SIGNIFICANCE AND METHODOLOGY

Drive test, as the name suggests, is conducted to measure the outdoor coverage in a moving vehicle in a

specified network coverage area.

The main purpose of the drive test is to check the health of the mobile network of various operators in the

area in terms of coverage (signal strength), voice quality, call drop rate, call set up success rate etc.

To assess the indoor coverage, the test is also conducted at two static indoor locations in each SSA, such

as Malls, office buildings, shopping complexes, government buildings etc.

There are two types of drive test as mentioned below.

Operator Assisted Drive Test

Independent Drive Test

The main difference between the two is that in the operator assisted, operators participate in the drive test

along with their hardware, software, phones etc. while in the independent drive test PhiStream conducts

the drive test on solitary basis and uses its own hardware. Operators generally do not have any knowledge

of the independent drive test being conducted.

5.1. OPERATOR ASSISTED DRIVE TEST

Himachal Pradesh circle consists of total 6 SSA’s and each SSA needs to be audit in the span of 12

months.

The methodology adopted for the drive test:

3 consecutive days drive test in each SSA. SSA would be defined as per DOT guidelines and

month wise SSA list is finalized by regional TRAI office.

On an average, a minimum of 80 kilometres are covered each day

Route map was designed in such a way that all the major roads, highways and all the important

towns and villages were covered as part of audit.

Special emphasis was given to those areas where the number of complaints received were on the

higher side, if provided by TRAI.

The route is defined in a way that we cover maximum area in the SSA and try to cover maximum

villages and cities within the SSA. The route is designed such that there is no overlap of roads and

we can start from the point from where we had left last day (if possible).

The route was classified as – Within City, Major Roads, Highways, Shopping complex/ Mall and

Office Complex/ Government Building

There were no fixed calls which we need to do for within city, major roads and highways, but a

minimum of 30 calls in each route, i.e., within city, major roads and highways on each day. For

indoors, 20 calls each for shopping and office complex each day preferably in relatively bigger city.

The drive test covered selected cities and adjoining towns/rural areas where the service provider

has commenced service, including congested areas and indoor sites.

The drive test of each mobile network was conducted between 10 am and 8 pm on weekdays.

The Vehicle used in the drive tests was equipped with the test tool that automatically generates

calls on the mobile telephone networks.

The speed of the vehicle was kept at around 30 km/hr.

The holding period of each test call was 120 seconds.

A test call was generated 10 seconds after the previous test call is completed.

Height of the antenna was kept uniform in case of all service providers.

5.2. INDEPENDENT DRIVE TEST

The number of independent drive tests to be conducted and their locations are decided basis TRAI

recommendation.

A minimum of 80 kilometres was traversed during the independent drive test in a SSA. The SSA

would be defined as per BSNL and SSA list will be finalized by regional TRAI office.

Route map was designed in such a way that all the major roads, highways and all the important

towns and villages were covered as part of audit.

Special emphasis was given to those areas where the number of complaints received were on the

higher side, if provided by TRAI.

The route is defined in a way that we cover maximum area in the SSA and try to cover maximum

villages and cities within the SSA. The route is designed such that there is no overlap of roads (if

possible).

The route was classified as – Within city, Major Roads, Highways, Shopping complex/ Mall and

6. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The executive summary put in a nutshell the key findings of the Audit by providing: -

“Service provider performance report” for Cellular mobile, Basic (wire line) and Broadband services ,

which gives a foretaste of the performance of various operators against the benchmark specified by

TRAI, during the months in which the Audit was carried out by PhiStream Consulting Pvt. Ltd.

Auditors.

“Parameter wise critical findings” for Cellular mobile, Basic (wire line) and Broadband services: This

indicates key observations and findings from different activities carried out during the Audit process.

PhiStream conducted audit involved a 3 stage verification process which consisted of auditing the

records of the service providers and verifying the data submitted to TRAI. The second step involved a

three day live measurement of all the network parameters. On the basis of the three days live

measurement, the auditors checked the busy hour of the day for the service provider and collected

the data for this busy hour for the month in which the audit was conducted Finally, the performance of

the service providers was also gauged by conducting drive tests in three select SSAs per service

provider per quarter.

The three stage audit / verification viz audit of the records, live measurements and drive tests of all

the cellular mobile operators was repeated every month. In case of Basic (Wire line) and Broadband,

this exercise is required to be carried out on quarterly basis.

9.1. INTER OPERATOR CALLS ASSESSMENT:

Inter operator call assessment with a sample of 2x50 test calls for each Service provider operating in Himachal Pradesh service area during the time 1100 to 1400 Hrs and 1600 to 1900 was carried out by Phistream auditors. The test calls were made from one operator to another within the same licensed area to judge the ease of connectivity amongst the operators. While doing this exercise, the radio part, the switch part and POI in between the two operators are involved. Congestion in any of these network elements could result in congestion in the network.

To test the Service Providers performance on billing related complaints and their resolutions, PhiStream auditors conducted a customer feedback calling for about random 100 nos. of customers. However, in some cases, the number of customers contacted for verification was very less due to less number of billing complaints. During live calling, some of the customers did not attend the calls, so shortfall was made good by taking other complaints to make verification of 100 Complaints. However, most of the customers reported their satisfaction on resolution of the billing complaints. / HELPLINE ASSESSMENT:

12. OPERATOR ASSISTED DRIVE TEST

The drive test was conducted simultaneously for all the operators present in the Himachal Pradesh

circle. As per the new directive given by TRAI headquarters, drive test for the month of July, August

and September, 2016 were conducted at a SSA level. Drive test was conducted for three days in

each SSA and the selection of routes ensured that the maximum towns, villages, highways are

covered as part of drive test. The routes were selected on basis of the complaints received from the

customers. The auditors were present in vehicles of every operator. The holding period for all test

calls was 120 seconds and the gap between calls was 10 seconds.

For measuring voice quality RxQual samples for GSM operators and Frame Error Rate (FERs) for

CDMA service providers were measured. RxQual greater than 5 meant that the sample was not of

appropriate voice quality and for CDMA operators FERs of more than 4 were considered bad. Call

drops were measured by the number of calls that were dropped to the total number of calls

established during the drive test. Similarly CSSR was measured as the ratio of total calls

established to the total call attempts made. Signal strength was measured in Dbm with strength > -

75dbm for indoor, -85 dbm for in-vehicle and > -95 dbm outdoor routes. Below is the schedule and

operators involved in the drive test for theHimachal Pradesh circle.
